(Not merely self-assessed ideology, mind you, but a factor analytical scale composed of numerous items. Lots of data on this, from GSS, World Values, NES, etc.) It's non-linear, however, because graduate schools are so profoundly leftist and grad-school faculty wield so much leverage over students in terms of graduation and longer-term career prospects. Citing what is mostly opinionated non-empirical graduate-level "analysis" of American conservatism is like citing the fox as an authority on how to protect the hen house.

Change in the Conservative Personality Equals Change in the Offender with a Resultant Reduction in Recidivism

Abstract

Offenders have many of the characteristics of the conservative personality as defined by Adorno, Collins, Wilson, and Boshier. The characteristics of the conservative personality limit change necessary for rehabilitation. Until that personality is modified, it is very difficult to reduce recidivism. Modification of the conservative personality through education and environment can lead to change in the offender’s behavior.
Is it possible to reduce violence by the criminal offender during incarceration? This paper presents the basis for a model which deals with certain offenders through an educational effort to modify some of their negative characteristics which include violence. The model in this paper is based on the concept of a conservative/authoritarian personality as it is found in offenders. The concept of the authoritarian personality remains important today as evidenced by coverage in current introductory psychology textbooks (Crooks & Stein, 1991; Dworetzky, 1991; Gleitman, 1991). “It appears that conservatism has pathological dimensions manifested in violence and distorted psycho-sexual development” (Boshier, 1983, p. 159). This is supported by a study conducted by Walker, Rowe, and Quincey (1993) in which there was a direct correlation between authoritarianism and sexually aggressive behavior. An investigation done by Muehlenhard (1988) revealed that rape justification and aggression toward subordinate individuals was much higher in traditional (conservative personality) than non-traditional personalities. It is postulated in this paper that the offender has a conservative personality and, therefore, manifests that violence.”

Ehhh… That would be you, btw. LOL

Conservatives have been around longer than any statists, Marxists, socialists, or communists, and will be around when all of these ideologies of death are but faint whispers of memory. The reason, dear Gary, that the MSM Pravda media won't tell anyone your miraculous secret, besides the fact that it's a mountain of balderdash, is that they wouldn't understand it. They worship the strong man on a white horse, which Comrade President Zero pretended to be, and now, even that he's slipping in approval daily, they are stuck with him. Right is still right, and right will prevail. Gary’s comment is so superficially learned, and so wrong.
